Environmental Impact Statement

The Carmichael Rail Project was declared a coordinated project under the Queensland Government’s State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (SDPWO Act) on 14 June 2013. The Office of the Coordinator-General (OCG) issued final Terms of Reference (TOR) for the EIS on 23 August 2013.

On 27 June 2013, the Commonwealth Department of the Environment (DotE) determined the Carmichael Rail Project to be a controlled action requiring a separate parallel assessment via EIS under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). EIS Guidelines for the EIS were issued on 1 August 2013.

An EIS was prepared in accordance with final TOR and the final EIS Guidelines released for public and government agency consultation from December 2013 to February 2014.

Adani was subsequently requested to provide a formal response to all submissions received on the EIS. Adani formally lodged the Additional information to the EIS (AEIS) in April 2014.
